Supposedly the highest pub in Ireland, this restaurant sits at the top of the Glenshane Pass on the L'Derry to Belfast Road. The history of this pub is shown in photographs which I found very interesting. The food was home cooked, beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful which all added to an enjoyable break on our journey.

Went here to catch up with friends. I wasn't impressed by the menu. It felt like they were trying to hard by adding an extra something that was totally unnecessary to each dish. However, we shared a cheesy garlic bread and a bruschetta which were both extremely tasty. My friend who had picked the restaurant recommended the Masssaman chicken curry. It was also delicious but sticky rice and Bombay potatoes? The dish would be still great without the Bombay potatoes.The waiters were really friendly. Excellent service.

We visited on a Friday evening and the place was full ... we had to wait about 10 minutes for our table (which they apologized profusely for).For starters the fried cheese and the crab cakes were both delicious. I had the Galician fish stew (not really a stew) and couldn't stop raving about it - so good. DH had the salmon with a cream chive sauce and it was also very well prepared. Entrees are served with very generous portions of veggies and potatoes. For desert DH said the sticky toffee pudding was very good. The irish coffee was also very good.Reasonable prices for the quality of the food.
